The RFH bug (request for help) against emdebian-tools has now been retitled RM (request for removal of the package from testing and unstable). The new version is called emdebian-crush and is based on the scripts in experimental. Before the new version can migrate into testing, the old versions need to be removed. Suitable Conflicts: are in place so that the old packages should be removed upon installing the new ones. (The RFH bug is to be closed because Hector has joined the uploaders and the package has now become small enough.) A lot of changes have gone into the new version of these scripts, renamed to use a new source package name, dropping the debconf templates, dropping lots of superceded scripts and putting in a new package for cross-build support - pdebuild-cross - which itself could be absorbed into pbuilder once various problems of installing cross -dev dependencies inside a chroot. The package name has been changed because the package can no longer support all Emdebian variants, only the Crush variant. Other variants are supported by multistrap and emdebian-grip packages. The new package has to go through NEW and then migrate into testing but this package has to be removed from unstable and testing in the meantime. In due course, buildcross should provide for some of the gaps (currently an ITP). The process of folding cross-building support into mainstream Debian packages continues.... In due course, pdebuild-cross will morph into pbuilder and emdebian-crush will become not much more than a set of configuration files for use by emdebian-grip. emdebian-tools 1.4.3 will remain in Lenny but Squeeze will be served by emdebian-crush, emdebian-grip, pdebuild-cross and multistrap. So long, e-t and thanks for all the cross fish. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
